It has just come to my attention that TQ should not be used at refrigerator temps
:icon_eek:
Where did that information come from?
MTQ is used a fridge temps all the time.

Good to know. I have not used TQ on whole meats, just in the one batch of BearCarvers pepperoni. I thought that he had a CB recipe too that uses TQ, in fact I think all his bacon does. Is it okay because he hot smokes it?It has just come to my attention that TQ should not be used at refrigerator temps due to the nitrate content not being converted to nitrites at the lower temps. My next batch will be made with cure #1 for both the dry & wet cure to do the comparison. I apologize for any confusion or misleading info.
Sorry - wasn't trying to piss anyone off. I don't get to see my parents very often but they have been back in the area for a few weeks for the holidays. They were here again tonight & I wanted to spend a little time with them while I could...![]()

Don't want you to have the wrong impression....Nobody is pissed! I was just Razzin' you cause it was like a tease getting bits and pieces. Visiting with Mom and Dad is way more important than the results of a CB test. My Dad passed 10 years ago and I really miss hanging out with him at Christmas. Thanks for a great post...I'll give you Points. Well Done...JJ

If we dont like the IRS,FBI,ATF and the rest of those clowns ..why is the USDA accepted as gospel..
Makes no sense to me...
It's ok - I had thought I pissed off Chef JimmyJ but it's all good.X2 on what JJ said... we were only messing with ya... Lost my mom a year ago the 9th,,, Make sure you spend as much time with the folks as you can....
For the comparison....![]()
For you. when cooking the brined bacon,,, did it seem like it took a little longer to cook ? Meaning did it have to steam the moisture out before it started to brown and crisp up ?

ThanksOk - I thought you were mad I hadn't put the whole results up. I was trying to keep everyone updated by posting the vote count till I could elaborate later once my parents left...
Thanks!
MAD are you kidding me? You are a neighbor and I am a fan of your work. No, like I said just goofing on you. Now I hope YOU were not offended!...As far as I am concerned we are all good...JJ
You're quite welcome - glad you found the thread helpfulCouldnt sleep.. and when that happens I read up on curing.. this was a great read. .. I learned alot just off this thread..with a few other tonight. . Im ready for some CB atleast I think..
I think the dry mix cure is what I'll give a go. I have both TQ and cure#1... think ill find a recipe and go with cure#1...
Thanks for the read and the trial tutorial Smoking B
